China Entertainment: I really don’t want to live with the queen

Chapter 139: Time Pictures is on the financial sector. The ghostly girl Xiaofan
Peking, Time Pictures.

The company's program "China in Classics" caused an uproar in the industry, with mixed praise and praise.

There are good and bad reputations, and No Time to Waste Pictures has made a name for itself. The company is recruiting, and there is an endless stream of job seekers interviewing at the door.

Hu Dinghui, the commercial director of "BBK", holds his briefcase under his arm, showing professional habits, and peeking at "Time Pictures" with a sly look.

The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. He had just arrived a week ago. At that time, there were two or three big cats and kittens among the employees of "Time Pictures", and the company was tepid.

If it weren't for the giant photo poster of "Chinese Pop King" Xu Chen hanging at the front desk, Hu Dinghui of this kind of pheasant company wouldn't even bother to take a look...

Who in a serious company would post a photo poster of the company’s CEO?

In the past seven days, Time Pictures has changed its focus. Wu Dinghui, carrying his briefcase, felt as if he was in the imperial garden, full of birds and birds, and hundreds of flowers blooming as he looked around.

The young and beautiful fashionable white-collar woman, wearing high-heeled shoes, led Hu Dinghui to the reception room and sat down.

Hu Dinghui subconsciously made the highest "visual gift". When she turned around, she saw a tall man withdrawing his eyes. They understood each other and smiled knowingly.

"Hey, the film and television company is better. How can other companies have so many beauties? Xu Chen, the boss, tsk, envious." Hu Dinghui smacked his tongue. He indeed envied Xu Chen, who became famous at a young age and was so high-spirited.

"BBK" abandoned Jing Gangshan, and Lin Yilun and Gao Linsheng were not used. The biggest reason for choosing Xu Chen was...

Xu Chen is extremely talented. He can compose and sing his own songs, which is unique in the industry.

One reputation is worth three, and Li Lianjie saves money on endorsement fees. The "endorsement fees" can also be combined with the sponsorship fee for the "China in Classics" program, which is very cost-effective!

"Xu Chen's company is indeed very unique."

"Qinchi Wine" Wang Zhuosheng is from Shan Province. He is tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He chatted: "Film and television have been in recession in recent years. "China in the Classics" is a good program. Xu Chen has great ideas. Brother, you can do it." No way."

"To be able to make a splash in the cold winter of film and television, Huaxia is indeed a good program in the classics." Hu Dinghui immediately agreed. Over the years, "Time Pictures" has become famous, and no other private film and television company has.

"Brother, my name is Hu Dinghui, and this is my business card." The man is bold and straightforward, and Hu Dinghui wants to make friends.

"BBK?" Wang Zhuosheng glanced at the business card and narrowed his eyes for a moment.

"Qinchi Wine" and "BBK" are old rivals. CCTV bid for the "Bidding King", and the two companies fought hard.

worse...

This guy came to "Time Pictures" and wanted to steal Xu Chen!
"So you are Hu Dinghui of Bubugao. After hearing about it for a long time, I am Wang Zhuosheng of Qinchi Wine." Wang Zhuosheng's attitude was indifferent. Because of "Bubugao"'s malicious bidding, "Qinchi Wine" suffered heavy losses.

"You are the King of Qinchi Wine Zhuosheng." Hu Dinghui's heart skipped a beat, "Qinchi Wine" is very wealthy.

6666 million was awarded to the CCTV bidder. In this ridiculous year, the turnover of wine production cannot reach 6666 million. Wang Zhuosheng’s malicious bidding is just a fool!
The above original words were all made by the boss of "BBK" in public.

To sum up, this cooperation with "Time Pictures" may not be a good one, and the harmonious and friendly atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

…………

"Brother Chen! How are you? Are you handsome?"

At Time Pictures, Xu Chen, along with his work assistant Li Xue and life assistant Li Bingbing, looked at the huge photo poster of himself at the front desk of the company and felt a little silent for a moment.

He wondered if he was still awake from the fake wine he drank at the finale party of "Love Malatang" yesterday, and asked thoughtfully: "Doudou, this one?"

"Brother Chen's poster. Brother Chen is the boss of the company. If the employees don't like the boss, how can they work for the company!
Chen Doudou, who has freckles on the tip of her nose, said righteously: "So the first criterion for employees at Time Pictures is that their idol must be Brother Chen!"

Makes sense!

Chen Doudou led Xu Chen to inspect his territory.

The development momentum of Time Pictures is very good. China in the Classics is currently a controversial and hot program in the TV industry, and there is an endless stream of brands seeking cooperation.

In addition, Xu Chen wants to invest in a TV series, and the company's employees have gone from having two or three big cats and kittens to now...

"Hello, Brother Chen!" Yingying Yanyan said softly. The female employees of the company were very enthusiastic and were praised by all the stars.

Chen Doudou didn't lie. The employees she recruited were all fans of Xu Chen, and they were all young, beautiful, and good-looking fashionable white-collar workers.

"Hello, you guys..." Xu Chen finally got a taste of what it was like for Tang Seng to be in his daughter's country.

After working for a long time, signing autographs and taking photos, I finally escaped from the female donor’s attack from all sides.

office.

Xu Chen stared at the structure diagram of Time Film and Television.

The management structure of "Time Pictures" is very simple. Xu Chen serves as the general manager, Chen Doudou is in charge of the program department, Sun Yonghuan is in charge of the agency department, Xiao Ou is in charge of the screenwriting department, and the finance department and administrative department are all highly paid employees.

With the popularity of "China in the Classics", Time Film and Television is on the right track. Humane management will definitely not work. The company is all female employees, so the company is not far away from bankruptcy.

Xu Chen was thinking about recruiting a general manager, but he was too busy to take care of the company's operations.

It is difficult to find this general manager. He has control over the general direction of Time Pictures. The general manager cannot be ambitious to avoid being out of control. In addition, the future scale of Time Pictures cannot be underestimated. He must have strong management capabilities and most importantly, this candidate must be absolutely loyal. !

After thinking about it, Xu Chen's current candidate is Comrade Xiao Gao. Comrade Xiao Gao is not good at studying, is a mess in acting, and has some talent in business.

…………

When planning the development of Good Time Pictures, Xu Chen looked at the materials of "BBK" and "Qinchijiu".

The profit point of separation between production and broadcasting is brand program sponsorship. Sponsorship forms include column naming, pre-roll advertising, and subtitle advertising..."

Advertisements for TV station programs are very valuable these days. CCTV holds advertising bidding every year. The bidding price for a 30-second advertisement starts at 1000 million, with no upper limit.

The popularity of Huaxia in the classics is no less than that of CCTV's first-line programs. There are many brands applying for sponsorship. Li Xue selected BBK and Qinchi Wine with the most favorable sponsorship conditions.

Bubugao and Qin Chijiu are both regulars on CCTV. Only children make the choice, adults want it!

Xu Chen sharpened his knife vigorously, not sparing any of the two big fat sheep.

…………

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Wang, hello. I'm Xu Chen. Please take a seat. Welcome to Time Pictures."

At 11:00 in the morning, Xu Chen met Hu Dinghui, the business leader of "BBK", and Wang Zhuosheng, the boss of Qinchi Wine, at Time Pictures.

Wang Zhuosheng is a native of Shan Province. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is tall and tall. He has a unique characteristic of businessmen in this era. He dares to think and act, acts recklessly and grows wantonly.

Wu Dinghui will later become the CEO of "BBK", with a high and powerful position, but he is very lean and has a sinister look.

"Mr. Xu, this..." Hu Dinghui and Wang Zhuosheng were a little confused.

Normal business negotiations are one-on-one. Xu Chen arranged for both people to come over at once. Hu Dinghui and Wang Zhuosheng looked at each other and understood...

This little boss doesn't know much about the rules of doing business. "Mr. Hu, Mr. Wang, let's get straight to the point. I have read both of your quotations." Xu Chen smiled and said: "Mr. Hu's quotation is 1200 million. Thanks to Mr. Hu, it is affordable, but it will be three years of endorsement + program sponsorship + advertising appearance. , all 3 million, BBK’s sincerity is very high!”

"Mr. Wang is very generous. Your company wants to customize a wine culture program. Program sponsorship + endorsement + customized program + song promotion will cost 1500 million..."

honestly.

Both BBK and Qinchijiu gave a lot of money. Li Lianjie received several million for endorsement of BBK, and 200 million for the commercials shot by Jing Gangshan, Lin Yilun and Gao Linsheng.

But Xu Chen was not satisfied. Three years later, he had already rushed out of Asia. An endorsement by an international superstar was worth tens of millions, and advertising and program sponsorships totaled at least tens of millions.

Qin Chijiu and Bubu Gaojing want to have good things~ and they also want to harvest Xu Chen’s wool!
"Mr. Xu, this..." Hu Dinghui was convinced. Do you understand the rules? It's very difficult for you to compare prices face to face like this!
"Qinchi Wine" is 1500 million, Wang Zhuosheng must be crazy, "Bubugao" has a budget of 200 million, but Hu Dinghui is not prepared to bid.

"Mr. Xu, Qinchi Wine is inherited from the hinterland of the Central Plains. It is a fine wine from the Sixteenth Dynasty. China promotes traditional culture in the classics. This approach is very consistent with Qinchi Wine. It's inappropriate for Bubugao to resell VCDs."

Wang Zhuosheng grinned, 1500 million is worth it!
Xu Chen is the king of Chinese pop. He has been an endorser for 3 years, customized programs, music and movies. A big deal worth 3000 million in total was completed with only 1500 million.

"Mr. Hu, as far as I know, Bubugao won't be able to offer much money this time." Bubugao won the CCTV bid at the beginning of the year, but at the end of the year, he had no money to spend on Xu Chen.

"Mr. Xu, BBK is planning to develop a learning software for teenagers. Our product can have built-in soft advertisements for Huaxia and Time Pictures in classics. Mr. Xu, this value cannot be measured by money..."

"And the advertisements we shoot will be featured on CCTV, major TV stations, and offline shopping malls. This will play a big role in Mr. Xu's popularity across the country!"

Hu Dinghui gave Wang Zhuosheng eye drops. Although Bubugao had less money, he had advantages that "Qinchi Wine" did not have.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Wang, I believe you have read my information. It only took me 8 months to become the King of Chinese Pop. If you give me 3 years, I believe I will break out of Asia and become an Asian superstar." How much is the endorsement fee? I think it must be more than tens of millions..."

"Let's talk about customized songs. The song I composed for Tu Honggang is "Borrow From Heaven for Another 500 Years". The price of this song is 500 million."

"Let's talk about China's sponsorship in the classics. There are 11 episodes in the first season of China in the classics. The first episode set a record for the ratings of Peking TV over the years. This program actually has no shortage of sponsors. I personally think Qinchijiu and Bubugao are very suitable. Program positioning~”

Xu Chen counted on his fingers. Hu Dinghui and Wang Zhuosheng were confused.

What Xu Chen is talking about is the future and potential commercial value. In other words, if it weren't for his high potential commercial value, Qin Chijiu and Bubugao would definitely not be able to find him.

Xu Chen wants to realize the potential business value. This is not nonsense. If you realize it, what else will I earn?

But what Xu Chen said was indeed right. Qin Chijiu and Bubugao's various demands were combined, and tens of millions was indeed too little.

"Mr. Xu, the maximum price of Qinchi Wine is 1800 million..." Wang Zhuosheng's mental expectation was 2000 million. Any more would not be cost-effective. He also had to prepare for the 1998 CCTV bid king competition.

He attaches great importance to the cultural value of "China in the classics" and plans to create a high-end liquor business card of "Qinchi Liquor".

"..." Wang Zhuosheng didn't talk about martial ethics. From 1500 million to 1800 million, Hu Dinghui became numb. When Xu Chen called the two people together, he lost his trump card in the negotiation.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Wang, I have a plan, a win-win situation for all three of us."

Xu Chen plans to give the opening advertisement to "Qinchijiu" and the "ending advertisement" to Bubugao.

As for the song "Bubugao", it was all done at zero cost anyway. It was just Xu Chen showing off his appearance in commercials and endorsements. His current status as the Chinese pop king is too high, and there are too few brands that need him to endorse!
It’s not worth it if you have less money, and it’s not worth it if you have too much money, and the brand is not worth it. The business environment in the Mainland is incomparable to that of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

For the sponsorship of the "China in Classics" program, apart from the large investment in building the stage for the first episode, the investment for the remaining episodes is controlled within 30, with a maximum of 11 million for the 500th episode.

Xu Chen did the math and found out that Qin Chijiu and Bubugao added up to 2700 million. He made this money!

"Mr. Xu, this..." Wang Zhuosheng wanted to refuse at the first moment, but held back the words. As Xu Chen said, the Chinese pop star's endorsements in three years have exceeded tens of millions, and other customized programs, music movies, etc. Guaranteed profit without loss.

"Mr. Xu, I want to report this plan to the company." Hu Dinghui thinks Xu Chen's plan is good. As long as he can sign Xu Chen as an endorsement, he will make money. Li Lianjie does not have Xu Chen's status and influence.

Both Wang Zhuosheng and Hu Dinghui had to think about it, but Xu Chen didn't push them and asked Li Xue to arrange a Sichuan restaurant to invite them to dinner in the evening.

…………

Finished handling the endorsement of "China in Classics".

Xu Chen also called Xiao Ou from the screenwriting department of Time Pictures.

Xiao Ou is the wife of chamber pot eunuch Huang Bo, and she looks exactly like Huang Bo.

Huang Bo, a chamber pot eunuch, owed hundreds of thousands and hid in Tibet to escape his debts. He had a home and could not return.

Xu Chen converted it into Xiao Ou's salary and gave the money to Huang Bo to pay off all the debts. Now one of the couple is an actor and the other is a screenwriter, and their life is extremely smooth.

"Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have lost a lot of weight. Come over to the house when you have time, and I will give Brother Chen some supplements!" Xiao Ou was very restrained. From the beginning, she knew that Xu Chen was definitely not a creature in the pool. She didn't expect that Xu Chen could Rise so quickly.

The status gap is too big now, and she doesn't have the confidence to be friends.

"Sister Xiao Ou, you have gained a lot of weight and your skin has turned white. How is Brother Bo lately?" Xu Chen did not deny his old friends when he got rich, and both Xiao Ou and Xiao Bozi were kind to him.

He asked Xiao Ou to come here mainly for the screenwriting work of "Blue Life and Death Love".

Many plot contents of this Korean TV series do not match those in China, and it is necessary to take the essence and discard the dross.

"Brother Chen, let's do this. I'll arrange for a young colleague from the screenwriting department to follow Brother Chen. Brother Chen will tell the story to the young colleague, and then we will adapt it for Brother Chen to review."

Xiao Ou never doubted Xu Chen's talent and obeyed him.

"Okay, little sister Ou, this TV series is the company's most important plan in 1998. If the screenwriting department is short of manpower, we will make up for it." Xu Chen was worried about affecting the screenwriting work of "China in Classics".

"Got it!" Xiao Ou has the self-cultivation of a working man.

After chatting about work, Xu Chen and Xiao Ou reminisced about old times. Xiao Bozi, the chamber pot eunuch, was thriving in "Love Malatang" and was recently planning to follow Xiao Ou's advice and apply for Nortel.

My friends have a bright future!

At this time.

The phone buzzed. Xu Chen looked at it and saw Qiong Yao's daughter-in-law, He Xiuqiong: "Hello, Miss He."

"Mr. Xu, my name is He Xiuqiong. Does Mr. Xu have work tomorrow? The My Fair Princess crew has been waiting for Mr. Xu for a long time." He Xiuqiong did not expect Xu Chen to be too busy at work.

When I learned that Xu Chen's movie was finished, I hurriedly arranged to visit the cast of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge". Otherwise, Xu Chen's theme song would not have been finalized when the TV series was finished.

"Miss He, I'm so sorry for the delay. Tomorrow will be fine."

The movie is finished, and Xu Chen's work plan for the second half of the year only includes the Spring Festival Gala, the Golden Melody Awards, and screenwriting work for Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother." There is plenty of time, and it's time to prepare for his third album.

"Okay, see you tomorrow!" He Xiuqiong smiled brightly: "Mr. Xu, there are many fans of yours on the cast of My Fair Princess, so please forgive me tomorrow."

Fans of Huanzhugege, Xu Chen thought about it, the most tender one is probably 16-year-old Fan Bingbing!

This first dish is ready!
　What's the name of the third album, Foster Fathers?
